Exactly. My A350 will happily keep shooting JPEG's forever without really slowing down a lot (that said, it can't get much slower than 2.5 fps

). But don't let it shoot RAW's...either you time it and shoot in RAW, or you shoot in JPEG like Gordon did on the airshow in New Zealand.
Oh, nearly forgot the third option

: spend a lot of money on a professional camera (A900, D3S/X, 1DIV league).
